A Brief Overview

Glee is the international trade show for the garden and leisure sectors that brings you fun ideas and best practices on how to gain the best outdoor living. The main focus in terms of products falls on landscaping, garden design and furniture and the event is a perfect way to bridge supply and demand. Birmingham, UK hosts editions on an annual basis and over the years, the show audience has grown upwards of 7 000 trade visitors. In terms of organisation, the space will feature over 500 exhibitors, who will be blocked off into eight specifically themed sectors!

An Industry Profile

As we have mentioned above, Glee incorporates a comprehensive and well-defined layout that makes it easy to browse for the right kind of products. These sectors also show the product wealth displayed each year:

• Garden care;
• Horticulture and garden ornamentations;
• Catering and food;
• Retail services;
• Outdoor recreation;
• Pets;
• Home, gift, and clothing.

Gardening is an all-British pastime, and it is why most exhibitors will represent British taste and ingenuity while opening the market to other countries looking to make a purchase. Garden centres, DIY retailers, florists, online retailers, distributors, and garden designers are some professionals you can look forward to meeting.
